Popis: This paper briefly discusses the history of the search for thermodynamic approaches to explain the origin of life, evolution, and aging of living beings. The origin of life is the result of its being required by quasiequilibrium hierarchical thermodynamics, in particular, supramolecular thermodynamics. The evolution of life and the aging of living beings are accompanied by changes in the chemical and supramolecular compositions of living bodies, as well as with changes in the composition and structure of all hierarchies of the living world. The thermodynamic principle of substance stability predicts the existence of a single genetic code in our universe. Thermodynamic theory optimizes physiology and medicine and recommends antiaging diets and medicines. Hierarchical thermodynamics forms the design diversity of culture and art. The thermodynamic theory of the origin of life, evolution, and aging is the development of the Clausius-Gibbs thermodynamics. Hierarchical thermodynamics is the mirror of the Darwin-Wallace theory.
